Land with Home for Sale in Alachua, Florida

Nestled north of Gainesville on a tranquil stretch of Alachua countryside, this remarkable 78.6-acre property presents endless possibilities for the discerning buyer. Lightly dotted with mature trees and offering lots of open space, the property enjoys a peaceful location along a greenbelt for added privacy and picturesque surroundings. Previously established as a horse farm, this property is ready for a visionary owner to restore its former charm or transform it into something new. The standout feature is the well-designed shed-row barn, equipped with 19 stalls, a tack room, feed room, barn office, and a second-story barn apartment--ideal for creating a comfortable live-work environment. Nearby, remnants of paddocks and spacious pastures hint at the property's thoughtfully planned equestrian roots, offering a layout that could be brought back to its former glory with some time and care or redesigned into a configuration that better suits your needs. Also established on the property is a log cabin and a mobile. The mobile is a complete haul away, but does have its own electric hook-up, well, and septic for use as a potential future home site. The log home, meanwhile, is in need of some repairs including siding and a new HVAC system, but has potential for those with a bit of imagination. Conveniently located just 28 minutes from the Alachua County Agriculture and Equestrian Center, 30 minutes from the University of Florida, and 35 minutes from UF Health Shands Hospital, this farm strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility. Ocala, celebrated as the "Horse Capital of the World(R)," is a scenic drive away, providing access to world-class equestrian competitions, premium feed and tack retailers, and an array of equine services. Whether you're seeking an investment, a personal project, or a working farm, this property offers a prime opportunity to create your dream.
